My friend has a Remington 700 in .30-06. The bolt is extremely hard to pull back and to close. It appears to be in a bind. Could the bolt be bent or warped? You can lift up on the bolt as you slide it forward and it seems to help a bit.

He hasn't dropped or abused the gun in any way. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong? Thanks!
